Intro: A   Bm   D   A (2X) 
 
     A 
     25 years of my life and still,   
     Bm                                        D                A 
     Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of hope, for a destination.   
       A         
     I realized quickly when I knew I should , 
              Bm                                            D 
     That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man,  
                          A 
     For whatever that means. 
               A 
     And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed 
            Bm 
     Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I,  
      D                           A 
     I am feeling, a little peculiar. 
               A 
     And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside 
           Bm  
     And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and I, 
         D                                         A 
     Scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" 
 
                  A                  Bm 
     And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."  
             D                  A 
     I said, "Hey, what's going on?" 
                 A                   Bm 
     And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah." 
       D                        A       (A   Bm   D   A) 2X 
     I said, "Hey, what's going on?" 
  
           A                     Bm               D                A 
     And I try, oh my God, do I try, I try all the time, in this institution. 
 
            A                     Bm                        D 
     And I pray, oh my God, do I pray, I pray every single day, 
               A 
     For a revolution. 
               A 
     And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed 
             Bm 
     Just to get it all out, what's in my head, then I, 
      D                           A 
     I am feeling, a little peculiar. 
               A 
     And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside 
           Bm 
     And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and 
     D                                                    A 
     I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" 
 
                  A                  Bm 
     And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
